Jessica Tandy (5ft 4 or 162.6 cm) was a British-American actress whose petite stature perfectly suited her iconic portrayals of resilient, spirited women across stage and screen.
- Her 5ft 4 frame brought authenticity to the feisty Miss Daisy in the Oscar-winning Driving Miss Daisy (1989), earning her the Academy Award for Best Actress at age 80.
- In Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) and Nobody's Fool (1994), her compact height enhanced her roles as wise, no-nonsense matriarchs.
- Earlier, in Hitchcock's The Birds (1963) and Cocoon (1985), her 162.6 cm presence added vulnerability and strength to ensemble casts.
Tandy's height contributed to her enduring image as a diminutive yet towering talent, with multiple Tony Awards and a career spanning over seven decades.
